" ... the only thing that works is conditioning and knowing what you have to
do when you
have to do it instinctively, and not letting anything else get in the way of
executing that. Focus and conditioning." - GI

Something that the Japanese - where judo originated - called "uchikomi"
which means continuous practice without throwing, conditioning the body to
undertake the movements, fit your body into your opponent's, achieve
"kuzushi" (the breaking of balance) without thinking and be in a position to
finalise the throw by putting your opponent flat on his/her back on the
tatami (mat). You only achieve the ability to throw "without thinking" by
lots and lots of uchikomi. As George says above these principle are very
useful in tech diving.
